Bookings scheduled for 10 days or more or that total $500 or more, will require a 50% deposit prior to drop off.
We do not mingle groups of dogs at our kennel. Dogs will go out on their own or with their housemates only. This allows us to limit disease issues and to keep your dog safe from harmful dog interactions.

Kennel cough does not have one individual cause. There are often multiple infectious agents that are working at the same time to infect your dog.
One of the most common causes is a bacteria known as Bordetella bronchiseptica. Due to this cause kennel cough may also be referred to as Bordetella. However, this bacteria may work with a virus such as canine distemper or canine parainfluenza. Both are problematic for your pet as they weaken the animal’s immune system and affect both the dog’s voice box and windpipe.
Dogs often develop clinical signs associated with kennel cough 3-4 days after exposure to a large number of other dogs (e.g., at a boarding facility, shelter or dog show), but it may take up to 10 days. Dogs may also experience mild symptoms after receiving the vaccine.
While there is currently no way to completely protect your pet from kennel cough due its airborne qualities, we will make every effort to ensure the health of your pet. K9 Care Camp has a strict sanitation policy that includes the disinfecting of our play areas, toys and kennel rooms. We wash all of our stainless steel water and food bowls with high heat. After each use, we wash and dry all blankets, and disinfect the beds.
